Psalm 27 - 29

« Psalm 26 | Psalms 27-29 | Psalm 30 »

Yahweh Is My Light and My Salvation

Of David.

Yahweh is my light and my salvation;

Whom shall I fear?

Yahweh is the strong defense of my life;

Whom shall I dread?

When evildoers came upon me to devour my flesh,

My adversaries and my enemies, they stumbled and fell.

Though a host encamp against me,

My heart will not fear;

Though war arise against me,

In this I trust.

One thing I have asked from Yahweh, that I shall seek:

That I may dwell in the house of Yahweh all the days of my life,

To behold the beauty of Yahweh

And to inquire in His temple.

For in the day of calamity He will conceal me in His shelter;

In the secret place of His tent He will hide me;

He will lift me up on a rock.

And now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me,

And I will offer in His tent sacrifices with loud shouts of joy;

I will sing, and I will sing praises to Yahweh.

Hear, O Yahweh, when I call with my voice,

And be gracious to me and answer me.

On Your behalf my heart says, “Seek My face,”

“Your face, O Yahweh, I shall seek.”

Do not hide Your face from me,

Do not turn Your slave away in anger;

You have been my help;

Do not abandon me and do not forsake me,

O God of my salvation!

For my father and my mother have forsaken me,

But Yahweh will take me up.

Instruct me in Your way, O Yahweh,

And lead me in a level path

Because of my foes.

Do not give me over to the desire of my adversaries,

For false witnesses have risen against me,

And such as breathe out violence.

I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of Yahweh

In the land of the living.

Hope in Yahweh;

Be strong and let your heart take courage;

Hope in Yahweh.

Yahweh Is My Strength and My Shield

Of David.

To You, O Yahweh, I call;

My rock, do not be silent to me,

Lest if You are hesitant toward me,

I will become like those who go down to the pit.

Hear the voice of my supplications when I cry to You for help,

When I lift up my hands toward Your holy sanctuary.

Do not drag me away with the wicked

And with workers of iniquity,

Who speak peace with their neighbors,

While evil is in their hearts.

Give to them according to their work and according to the evil of their actions;

Give to them according to the deeds of their hands;

Return their dealings upon them.

Because they do not regard the works of Yahweh

Nor the deeds of His hands,

He will tear them down and not build them up.

Blessed be Yahweh,

Because He has heard the voice of my supplications.

Yahweh is my strength and my shield;

My heart trusts in Him, and I am helped;

Therefore my heart exults,

And with my song I shall thank Him.

Yahweh is their strength,

And He is a strong defense of salvation to His anointed.

Save Your people and bless Your inheritance;

Be their shepherd also, and carry them forever.

The Voice of Yahweh

A Psalm of David.

Ascribe to Yahweh, O sons of the mighty,

Ascribe to Yahweh glory and strength.

Ascribe to Yahweh the glory of His name;

Worship Yahweh in the splendor of holiness.

The voice of Yahweh is upon the waters;

The God of glory thunders,

Yahweh is over many waters.

The voice of Yahweh is powerful,

The voice of Yahweh is full of splendor.

The voice of Yahweh breaks the cedars;

Indeed, Yahweh breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.

He makes Lebanon skip like a calf,

And Sirion like a young wild ox.

The voice of Yahweh hews out flames of fire.

The voice of Yahweh causes the wilderness to tremble;

Yahweh causes the wilderness of Kadesh to tremble.

The voice of Yahweh makes the deer to calve

And strips the forests bare;

And in His temple everything says, “Glory!”

Yahweh sat enthroned over the flood;

Indeed, Yahweh sits as King forever.

Yahweh will give strength to His people;

Yahweh will bless His people with peace.
